COS and Dist. List backup/restore

[Harley77]

I noticed that the backup and restore function doesn't backup the COS and Distribution lists. I found this out the hard way and am in the process of rebuilding all my dist. lists. Is there a way to do this cleanly? Seems like a big omission to have in the back function.

BTW, I've searched for this answer on the forums and just ran across old threads asking the same thing with no response.

COS and DL list membership are stored in LDAP, The normal backup routines handle these.

Ok, well, maby I'm missing something then. I did a full backup and kept the backup dir on a seperately mounted drive. Uninstalled and reinstalled zimbra. Restored from the full backup all accounts. No COS nor Distribution lists were there.

I just did another Full backup and ran the command:
zmrestoreldap -lb full-20080923.141812.548 -t /DRIVE2/backup -l


Only my User accounts and resources were listed. No COS nor Dist. Lists.

How can I tell if they were backed up?

zmrestoreldap -l will only list email accounts in the ldap backup. here's a full restore i did. notice the added: "cn=cos,cn=zimbra" (0000000a)
